Aloe plicatilis commonly known as the Fan Aloe, is a distinctive architectural succulent native to South Africa's Western Cape. It forms upright fans of blue-grey, strap-like foliage arranged in opposing rows on thick, woody stems that branch over time to create a sculptural, tree-like appearance.

This evergreen species is ideal for containers or sunny, well-drained positions in the garden. In early summer, it produces showy orange tubular flowers on tall stems, providing seasonal interest and attracting pollinators.

Best grown in frost-free climates, Aloe plicatilis prefers dry conditions during winter and protection from severe cold. A stunning choice for water-wise and contemporary landscapes.
